What is the purpose of armour on needle jets. Air combat is resolved only using attack ratings, yet we allowed to pack armour on them.

Their armor comes into play when they are stationary within a base being attacked by land units
And, of course, armor on a chopper helps defend it from ground attack when it's between turns

For what it's worth, I believe that non-SAM NJ's (and presumably non-SAM Choppers in the open) defend against (SAM) Interceptor NJ's or SAM Choppers (or SAM equipped land units) using whatever armor they might have. While it is generally not worth it to armor aircraft, it would be more cost effective if one had some armor-only NJ's to act as bomber escorts (they could also destroy some underlying terraforming while they were hanging around on guard duty). Unfortunately, defensive tech is usually at least a few levels below offensive tech, so unless you had a large technology and/or morale advantage, this strategy would more than likely result in wounding attacking SAM aircraft than killing them, but it might keep your attack aircraft alive and healthier while the target's interceptors would be more limited in their attacking capability and/or forced to sit out turns getting repaired. Still, it is probably more sensible to attack their inteceptors yourself, rather than try to protect your attack a/c this way.

What is Media Play? Is it a software retailer? I have never heard of it actually.

I haven't had any luck finding SMACX at Fry's. I found the orignal game, but not the expansion.

Yes. Big in the northeast US. There must be an analog out in Vegas I would think, and be able to order "The Laptop Collection" through the.
